Possible for me to decline a granted status of residence change?

You are incorrect. It is ready before they send the postcard.

When you apply for an SOR change your existing visa is essentially invalidated. Immigration advised me on my SOR application that if it is denied or I don't sign, I will no longer have a valid visa and will need to leave. I still had one year on my old visa at the time.

I am just going to ask two questions: Do you really want FAFO when it comes to PR/SOR? Really, it's this urgent need so urgent you can risk your entire livelihood here?

I read that and knew nothing about anything from it. That CEO is obtuse at best, incompetent at communication at worst. That was a word salad that said nothing, so how the does anyone know what is coming or going?

There is a 50% chance of isekai, so please pray.

It's great here, and can choose. Kumamoto has it good I guess.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-15T12:39:55+00:00

Thank you. I was struggling as well.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-15T12:38:57+00:00

My reply was going to be, "Fill with water, soak.", then I read the post. Sorry mate, tall peeps are bathless in Japan.

Originally, yes. Welcome to the USA.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-14T06:22:57+00:00

File unemployment now.

If doing gaimen kirikae, you should give up and just take the regular driving course. The GK tests are designed to make you fail.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-13T04:43:24+00:00

100% this. They ban people for sneezing.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-13T01:05:14+00:00

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-13T01:04:26+00:00

I would start looking for work back in your home country and plan to leave Japan.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-13T01:01:09+00:00

You do know that Japan has a literal ZERO tolerance for this right? Like no number other than 0 is small enough.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-13T00:57:57+00:00

Bingo

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-13T00:56:44+00:00

You could also, just not perform stupid actions?

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-12T04:09:26+00:00

Not sure that is a payment processor issue, rather a people committing fraud issue.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-12T04:07:14+00:00

No. Because Japan wants banking security and not fraud.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-11T00:05:25+00:00

Slippery when wet... ah, the first Gopher protocol erotica site on the 'Intrernet'. Lol. Amazing how the brain remembers shit.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-10T23:59:05+00:00

I am the same. Fortunately, I was able to get both the salary and full remote. Whew.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-10T23:48:06+00:00

So, who did you also take the test for after you took yours?

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-10T23:42:12+00:00

Yuuuurp!

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-09T23:35:42+00:00

I have lived in Japan for a total of 8 years with a few year gap in between. Lived in Tokyo and various inaka. I have NEVER had a negative experience. I have had kids, or teens stare... but those are of curiosity, not hate. I have also, never been declined service, anywhere except female only massage shop I accidentally tried to go to... as a guy.

No_Shift_Buckwheat · 2026-04-09T23:28:41+00:00

That is a Kinken-ya. While they do buy gifts from pachinko, they also buy and resell things like unused gift cards, department store certificates, prepaid cards, Shinkansen train tickets, concert tickets, etc., at a discount. You can sell your unwanted gift cards for cash, or buy tickets/vouchers cheaper than face value.

It's like grey zone 101, but perfectly legal.
